front end shake
Hello folks, (87 convertible, stock L98)
I noticed a problem last couple days, it seems when I hit the 50mph mark or in the vicinity of, give or take, feels like the steering wheel shakes, speed up it goes away, slow down it goes away also, I can speed up to 100 mph and it feels fine or below the 45-50mph mark I feel nothing.
Any ideas what might be causing this, I thought wheel balance, but it would normally shake all the way up to high speeds then (usually)
figured if it was any major front end part that it would shake all the time also.
I am open for ideas as to what to look at that could be causing this.
thanks.
